Secrets is another lovely
doe. Her sire Rue, has produced very nice udders on his daughters. Secrets is a refined doe with an uphill stance, sharp
shoulders, rear angulation, a long dairy neck and a lot of dairy
character. Her udder is already better than her dam's in appearance and
attachments to the body. There's no wiggle in this udder when she's
running about! Secrets isn't our friendliest doe, but she does come up
for treats and is already doing very well on the milk stand. She stands
quiet and is putting the milk in the pail! I am anxious to compare
results with her milking to our other milkers.
Secrets' udder is
just beautiful. Teats are large and easy to milk, capacity is great and
so are her attachments. Her foreudder is smooth and well blended. Her
medial is a little less defined than her first freshening, but the
longer her lactation progresses the more defined it becomes. Check out
her udder below. I've decided to keep Secrets another year because of
how she's surpassed my expectations. I have not kept a daughter from her
two kiddings and do not want to lose this line so I will keep a daughter
next year and most likely sell Secrets then.
Secrets is planned to Ericson for a Spring 2011
kidding. She has really matured into a stunning doe and I think this
crossing will be a very nice one. I will most likely sell Secrets after
retaining a doeling this year. Its time for her to move on I feel.
